I recieved an email yesterday 12/29 stating I had an interview set up for 12/31 in the morning but it was done via Yahoo IM. I thought this odd, but created an account and went through the interview process. I saved the whole conversation not only to go back and review the items I needed for the job, but something was not settling right in my gut. I re-read the emails repeatedly and, call me OCD, but I feel that the "personnel manager" of a data entry position should be able to spell words correctly and speak in good english. I began looking at the address, statements and website given in the ad. I couldn't not find anything valid. The website "www.compaq.com" is an actual business sales website for computers, this job calls it's company name "Compaq Computers" which would almost match the website given, yet they call themselves a "third party bookkeeping and payment unit." I finally googled the EIN and FedTax ID # given and stumbled across this complaint website which states the same ads, emails back and wording of the actual interview that I encountered today only under multiple different company names and contact names.
I am blessed that I am supposed to be online tomorrow morning to "start working" and was supposed to give "Mr Harry Gates" my personal banking information. I will NOT be doing so!!!
I am completely pissed that ESPECIALLY in an economy as today, there are thiefs and liars posting jobs. Not only posting them, but interviewing and hearing that I am a mom trying to support my toddler and they have the balls to continue and "hire me".
I have read a few complaint articles with the same wording, different company names, but same EIN and FedTax ID #'s and yet have not seen any sort of legal retribution against them. If I knew someone tonight I would totally ask for help in holding a conversation with this guy tomorrow and catching him as he is not on to me yet.
Please beware ~ this is a fradulant job!!!
